Tagan is in my Happy Journal

I have many happy memories of doing cell culture with Tagan. We talked about so much interesting science and I learned so much from him. He was an excellent teacher. He also surrounded us with interesting music. He introduced me to Johnny Cash's cover of a Nine Inch Nails song in what was one of the most intensely beautiful experiences of my life. I also fondly remember Tagan's original restriction endonuclease themed composition "Chomp the DNA".

The drawing is from my Happy Journal. Riding on the train during the Pandemic, I would draw a quick sketch of a happy scene, either a memory or something I hoped for. I am happy I get to share memories of Tagan with you.
